Raced in the early '60s, so I assume it was built around that time

I originally found it online, though I no longer remember where. What I have are portions of an article clipped from a period magazine. I usually make a note of the source (magazine title/issue/date) but failed to do so in this instance. I just tried a Google search using the key terms and found nothing. What I can tell you is that it was taken from an article in a period magazine reporting on this particular autocross event.
